If you run nwrecover on the NetWorker server without the option -c 
<nomad-eth.foo.org> you are always browsing through the servers index, not the 
client's one. Relocate just defines where the files should be written to, not 
from wich client they will be read.

Put "save -c nomad-eth.foo.org" in the backup command of your client resource, 
this should solve your problem.

`hostname` on the client simply returns "nomad" (no FQDN). /etc/hosts on
the client reflects DNS as far as the two different interfaces
(nomad-wifi and nomad-eth). There is no entry for nomad.foo.org in
/etc/hosts.

I ran nwrecover on the backup server and chose a to "relocate" via the
Options menu.
